Real problem is this has gone all the way to the battlefield, our troops cannot fight back, even with evidence of enemy intentions..running with rocket launcher after rocket hits base for 165th time since May. Apaches are ordered not to fire… I pray everyday this craziness stops and my son comes home safely. After 20 yrs of service, this is how it is now and it is a disgrace for all our military members. What are they dying for?

I read a comment that said people collecting welfare should not be able to VOTE… Are you kidding… take a look for your state and you will probably find that the three places you can register to vote are:
1. Registrar of Voters Office
2. DMV
3. Welfare Office.

Well if we hear about an attach on our troops don’t be surprised: The statement below should trouble everyone!

well they found a car that was towing around a ZPU-4 anti aircraft gun….this is only about 5 miles if that outside the FOB. They recorded this video for 5 minutes. then they lost where it went. do you want me to tell you exactly what they did about it?
exactly nothing….this thing has 4 23mm barrels on it that can shoot an ungodly amount of **** at us. it is now sitting in our backyard in one of these villages and they have no idea where now.

As the mother of one currently serving in Afghan I am appauled and mad as hell that our gov’t has abandoned our troops. To hear the horror stories of what our troops are going though each day,the way they are not allowed to protect themselves, they are sitting ducks for the radicals and no one in our gov’t gives a damn. My son said tonight “I never signed a contrct that said I will go defend a country and become a target for them without being able to defend myself” and this man has been in the military foralmost 20 years. I ask everyone to please start calling you Senators and demand our troops get the support of our gov’t? They are there protecting us, now they need our help to protect them. Thank you to those that read this post and those who give a damn!

Mom, as one military Mom to another, I'm with you all the way. I throw this fit to everyone who will listen and many who don't! My kid's not over there at the moment and I'm thankful, but they've got him doing some really insane things here at home just to follow orders. Did you know bill clinton ordered the gates removed from all our military bases here at home, and they're only supposed to have 2 soldiers guarding each gate. The reason the fort hood jihadi was able to do so much damage is that our military aren't allowed to carry weapons on base unless they're base security personnel and they have a limited number of those for each base. Our whole country is being set up for a big fall and it started many years ago. We really need to try a major lot of those in DC for treason!

I talk to my son everyday and am so saddened by what i hear. How their hands are tied ROE foggy, commanders not commanding. Locals working on the base being investigated for giving coordinates of the inside of base so rockets can have bigger impact. This is not the same military he joined 20 yrs ago. Since he got there in May they have had 140 rocket attacks, explosive vehicles parked outside the base and because they are short handed no one does anything, it detonates and takes out half the base. Since that time they have no water on base, but the rockets keep coming. Time to bring our heroes home, let these ppl fight to the death with their own. Their way of life is not our concern anymore. But our military should be all of our concern. I pray everyday i see that green online notice so i know he`s safe!

every thing you have in your post that your son said is true sir and it has only got worst sense obama has taking over we in the military are being used as pawns by this president

American Airlines handles their complaints like our government does! Had horrible experience with AA, sent them letter, their response was to send me a free ticket. My response tore it in half, sent it back and asked what part of I would never do business with them again didn`t they understand. That was almost 9 years ago. Sorry folks i can`t be bought. You have one chance to make a lasting impression, don`t blow it!

Listen the number of things that are going on over there with the way our military is being made to fight this war is disgraceful. The rocket attacks daily, they are not able to fight back. They are sitting ducks and they are told to stand down. Maybe we need to send these worthless politicans over there and let them fight the the enemy and bring our loved ones home. No one would give a damn if the politicans came home, but for sure I give a damn whether my son comes home and it is outragous what is going on. But does anyone care NO…. GEE can you say VIET NAM !!!!

As the mother of three (3) active miitary members I am shocked and speechless. Our own military
Would disgrace those who protect us everyday. God help us! Stand up and demand
Action and dignity for our beloved military. If we don’t stand up for them, how can we ask
Them to stand up for us.

I don't cry often but this story did it. Three kids in service. Good job Mom, you have raised some strong USA loving kids. I pray God's protection over them and for you as you wait for them to come home. I thank you for your good parenting and your kids for their service. God Bless.

As the mother of three military members, these people scare the hell out of me. You imagine your children are safe at school and on a military base on our own land, only to leaarn. Some brain washed moron is allowed to be a member of the same military. Their are not safe here now because the person standing next to them wearing the same uniform is preparing to kill you. WHAT THE HELL are we doing about it???????????

Hollywood will only understand when WE affect their purse strings. If all of us would refuse to spend our hard earned money on their propaganda then we have a chance of changing things. That goes for any
Company, musician, movie star, oil company etc. We have the power but we don’t want to inconvenience ourselves. Have’t been to the movies, or watched any TV show from any of the left. Cancelled all movie channels on cable and told them why. We have to stand for something, but instead we have fallen for anything. STOP the INSANITY!

Isn’t it nice to know that when we all die the younger generation will Cheer, Yell and carry on like they did at this Memorial. Heaven help us all. No wait. Heaven help them, because if we’re all gone who is going to pay their way through life then.

There was a report in New Bern, NC of when Picking straight republican ticket they all showed up. Straight dem ticket. Everyone pay close attention to your ballots before you turn them in. Also if several ppl are experiencing the same problem contact your local media.

You tell 'em!! He is worse than a douchebag, he is a "PROGRESSIVE COMMUNIST." They don't get any lower than that! These Dirtbags will be defeated by WE, THE PEOPLE! You can take it to the bank.
